The COVID-19 pandemic requires SHL auditors to quarantine for two weeks, which makes it difficult and expensive to perform audits.  With hands-free smart glasses from Vuzix, operational staff are now able to support audits remotely through peer-to-peer video calling over the M400 Smart Glasses.  The COVID-19 pandemic has also made it very difficult for SHL to travel and gather for engineering training.  With the Vuzix M400 Smart Glasses, engineering staff can now be trained remotely and provided hands-free setup and guidance for new equipment activations in the field. Finally, on-site visits by vendors located overseas used to require travel to and from foreign sites. With the Vuzix M400 Smart Glasses, vendors now can connect with technical experts to perform troubleshooting and remote inspection without having to be on-premise.
